Keen’s publicly accessible LinkedIn profile shows his current position as a gameplay producer as Ghost Games, otherwise known as EA Gothenburg.

His role as lead game designer on Watch Dogs and Far Cry 3 has been updated to display as a past position ending in February 2013.

Keen’s move is a little surprising, but perhaps as Watch Dogs moves into final production and polishing his contributions have wound down, It’s also worth noting that he spent nine years with EA before joining Ubisoft, including three years at DICE in Stockholm; perhaps he wanted to return to Sweden and reconnect with former colleagues.

Based in Gothenburg, Sweden, the new studio will create games using the same engine as Battlefield 3.

The tech has been utilised in multiple EA games – Medal of Honor, Need for Speed: The Run, and the upcoming Command and Conquer: Generals 2.

The new studio is still largely under wraps with prospective employees required to sign an NDA, but the developer is recruiting across all disciplines.
